John, I thought it interesting that Georgia spent 152 million to repair 77% Now have asked for 220 million for the remaining [23%]1999 budget.In your opinion does this indicate simply increased costs or perhaps they are not really 77% done?I wonder about the per cent completed because the article says the money was appropriated just this last winter,so in about 3/4 of a year Georgia is indicating they have done 77% of the work for remediation. "Starting in 1996, Mr. Hale asked 70 state agencies to assess Y2K compliance of their most critical computers. The fixing of key computer programs is 77 percent completed, Mr. Hale said. Last winter, the General Assembly budgeted $152 million to begin fixing the problem. Mr. Hale said he needs an additional $220 million from them during the 1999 session to complete the job."

I just watched a public service channel coverage of a meeting of Senior Public Utility Regulators charged with Y@K responsibility. The meeting happened to be chaired by my daughter Susan Thomas who directs the Unysis world wide Y2K programs. This meeting is part of a series of efforts to coordinate activities across the entire Northeast. It illustrated the exraordinary challenges faced in making sure that efforts within a given sphere of influence are not negated by inattention elsewhere.As a simple example if 911 systems do not operate nuclear power generation in that area must shut down.If gas utilities in OHIO use more gas because of insufficient electric power then New England may not get enough gas because OHIO is upstream in the gas pipeline network.
